are cooling towers the only way to condense water at large scale?
no, but they are stupid simple to construct since hyperboloids can be made with a bunch of straight members
>>108448438is their water source too expensive to simply all the steam go?
>>108448667Yes
>>108448415No, the atmosphere condenses water at scale
>>108448438ima show you my straight member LOLOL
no there possibly are underground units with large plateau like water pool at ground level
i just think they're neathttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tmbZVmXyOXM
>>108448900Heh, beat me to it
When I was young I used to think that those towers were the actual nuclear plant, now idk how to feel about it just being the cooling towers
>>108450428i found out what they were when i played captain of industry
>>108448415There are many alternatives: - send the out steam for district heating, hot houses and the like - use the sea or rivers for cooling, perhaps after use as district heating
>>108448900You ain't straight tho
>>108448982zesty engineering
